Hi, friends. 

 

Quick question. My fiance & I graduated college a year ago. He has a good paying job that meets the income requirement for K1. However, he did not work during college, so his tax returns for 2016 & 2015 wont meet the requirement. 

Question: do you think, would a letter from his employer stating his salary and his 2017 tax return (that meets the requirement) be enough? or should we look for a joint sponsor?

 

Thank you!

Just went through the K1 process and was never even asked for my Affidavit of Support or supporting documents. Not sure how it is in Russia though, so I would ask someone who's gone through the interview process over there.

Hey there! Similar situation. I graduated college in August, and am starting a new job just a week before my fiancé goes for his interview. I'm electing to both write a small note describing my circumstance in college, so they consular officer is aware of why those tax returns aren't included, as well as have a cosponsor. It's annoying, but better to be on the safe side, especially as new employees--the consular office typically likes to see sponsors who have worked for a while, so having a joint sponsor whose been working for a few years is the best choice.  While some consulates don't ask for the affidavits, you need to have one just in case.

Thank you for the advice! I think I am going to look for a joint sponsor just to be on a safe side!
